Stripped of the green magnolias and the cane, the banks of clay stood forth in hideous yellow nakedness, save for a lonely stunted growth, or a bare trunk that still stood tottering on the edge of a banks its pitiful withered roots reaching out below. The May weather was already sickly hot. First of all there was a murderous assault, and a still more murderous repulse.
In descending from Dorjiling, the zones of vegetation are well marked between 6000 and 7000 feet by 1. The oak, chesnut, and Magnolias, the main features from 7000 to 10,000 feet. 2. Of palms, a species of Calamus, and Plectocomia, the "Rhenoul" of the Lepchas. Wallichia oblongifolia, the "Ooh" of the Lepchas, who make no use of it; Dr.
It tells us that a sea, some 500 or 600 feet deep, then lay over that part of England, and fragments of the life of the period are preserved in its deposit. The sea lay at the mouth of a sub-tropical river on whose banks grew palms, figs, ginkgoes, eucalyptuses, almonds, and magnolias, with the more familiar oaks and pines and laurels. Sword-fishes and monstrous sharks lived in the sea.
The moon, nearly full, swung directly before us, pouring its gracious light through the tenuous cross-hatchings of the pecans, nestling it in the dense tops of the cedars and magnolias and sprinkling it to the ground among the lower growths and between their green-black shadows.
Then Aline saw the tabouret that stood between the windows it was burdened with magnolias in a deep white bowl. "Do you wish them nearer?" "No, no," murmured her aunt. Her eyes brightened. She pushed her chin forward, and the young girl removed the flowers, knowing that their odour had become oppressive. She was not absent more than a few seconds. As she returned the maid touched her arm.
Roosevelt, then at the White House, and with American men of politics and affairs, like Mr. Root, Mr. Garfield, and Mr. Bacon set all of it in spring sunshine, amid a sheen of white magnolias and May leaf will always stay with me as a time of pleasure, unmixed and unspoiled, such as one's fairy godmother seldom provides without some medicinal drawback!
The boy frowned at mention of Estelle, but forgot her in considering the further problem. "He liked the mint bed. I'll put mint on him," he said. "An excellent thought. And I shall pluck one of the big magnolias myself." Returning, Ernest informed Estelle that she must be at the funeral and she went home for a bunch of blossoms to grace the tomb.
But the leonine threat did not hinder the devotion of Daniel, the Coeur-de-Lion of the ages. His enemies might as well have a law that the sun should not draw water or that the south wind should not sweep across a garden of magnolias or that God should be abolished. They could not scare him with the red-hot furnaces, and they can not now scare him with the lions.
"Yes," said Adele, laughing. "You know what the Boston girl said: 'Oh, I just LOVE nature! It ADDS so! You're like that, aren't you, Patty?" "Exactly! but spring is all over the city, too. They're selling flowers on every street corner, and all the pedestrians wear big bunches of violets or daffodils or magnolias or something. Daisy, you're looking fine! How long have you been here?"
Peter Arbuthnot Forbes was at some distance from the tavern which was on the sloping ground that overlooked the harbor, among the spreading live-oaks and magnolias. Borne on the breeze came the sounds of Stede Bonnet's pirates at their revels, pistol shots, wild choruses, drunken yells. Jack was not disturbed although Mistress Dorothy moved closer and laid a hand on his arm.
